It's because of Steve, and Apple not postponing is because they can make hay from his death and that is the only thing that matters to them, especially after such a poor reception for the new iPhone.

Google Instant is live now

And it's pretty bloody great.

Michael Sheils

Ok so...

He had an infection that was grabbing these images while at the same time he had his desktop background to cycle through his My Pictures folder. Any half-decent lawyer will get this dropped in a second but that isn't going to help the guy when people around where he lives find out.

Jobs Horns

Aww

Throwing his toys out of the pram because he knows he can't hold on to the smartphone market in the face of an open competitor?

He's probably also a little sore after the reception his latest creation received, and knowing full well that many Android powered devices will be breathing down the Pad's neck with better specs, prices and versatility.

Michael Sheils
WTF?

Odd

Since the beginning of December I've noticed a steady increase in our home lines effective speed by about 500k depending on the time of day.

@SomersetRich

Simple answer being he isn't a money grabbing twat.

Michael Sheils

Ahh...

I thought twitter felt better today.

Google have done the same thing

at the same time.

Keep Away

Keep it away from the Be* network and I'm still happy.

Nice

I'd grab myself one of these but I fear with my talent for accumulating random crap on my HDD I think perhaps I should go for the 160gb model.

Michael Sheils
Unhappy

Why the constant google hate?

When every other big organisation with multiple websites does the EXACT same thing with their log-in ID's.

Key Feature?

Not for consumers it isn't as all of there software would have been made Vista compatible years ago, the ONLY people for who XP Mode will be useful is large institutions/companies with legacy software to run.

Intel always save cash on their chips by butting good shit from everything except the top line of a family and then selling all of their chips as if they all had the features.

Excellent

Nice to know Google won't be pandering to the artsy crowd.

MacGyver is already back on out screens

It's called Burn Notice.

Excellent

But what is with the long waits between episodes?

Michael Sheils

wow

I think this is the first piece of good financial news I have heard in over 4 months.

Nice Phone

But why was that guy constantly trying his best not to laugh, was the camera man tickling him?

Is that all it takes to make an el reg article these days?

One forum poster is a bit pissed off for not getting more toys to play with so the reg rasies the alarm bells.

If this is all it takes for you towrite up a story then you should make one about my disgust in EA for not listening to my concerns for Battlefield Heroes since they have seen fit to not give me a beta key yet.

How can DSGi improve for it's customers?

Well it could always close.

I'd just like to welcome everyone..

..to the best Article El Reg has ever managed.

Well Done.

Seriously?

I thought every self respecting film fan or geek knew about this when it happened at comic-con, I know I was telling every random person I bumped into at the pub.

Pricing

Kissogram (no strip with a poem)

£85

Stripogram (lingerie strip)

£95

Stripogram (topless stripogram)

£110

Stripogram (full or g-string strip- 10-15 minute performance)

£125

Strip Show (2x strips with a change of costume)

£160

It would be cheaper to hire a reasonably attractive whore, plus you get more.

Michael Sheils

What the hell?

M$ have time travel now?

I for one welcome our paradox causing overlords.

Michael Sheils
Happy

These chips are looking very good

Especially since it seems even the i7 920 will overclock to 4ghz without any trouble, all I need now is for some cheap X58 boards to come out as there is no way I'm paying £280 for one as well as a triple channel DDR3 kit.

So....

Only one more year left until the kernel starts drinking, forgetting where it left stuff and dying of liver failure before 30?

Michael Sheils

None spotted along the South Coast?

Most disappointing Google. :(

Michael Sheils

It's just a carbon copy of there net apps eula

It will just be some stupid peon screwing up, there is no way they would be that stupid as to expect this to fly, also there is no way for them in the code to pull it off.

Aw damn

They were one of the better online shops. They will be missed.

RE: El Reg bias up to the extreme, eh!

I think the use of 'despite' was fine, they were simply meaning if the servers has coped imagine how many downloads could have been registered. Why do you seem to think that Mozilla deserves such praise for this epic fail of a PR stunt?

Michael Sheils
Stop

If you wanna be a record breaker

Make sure your servers work.

Serves them right really for the shameless bollocks that this PR exercise has been.

So this thing literally has no point.

You still need a graphics chipset separate from the Cell chip and yet the job the cel chip is meant to do (playback HD content) current AMD chipsets can do just as good a job at and they will work while on battery power.

Is there any point to having this thing in your laptop?

Best description yet!

"DARPA, the poorly-integrated, troubling, erratically brilliant bulge-headed mutant child of the US military establishment."

There should be awards for this kind of descriptive ability.

Shouting is fun!

"IM NOT BEING RACIST BUT YOGHURT WEAVING HIPPIES ARE GIVING MONEY TO THEIR CRONIES. END THIS MADNESS NOW LEAVE TEH COUNTRY.. WHAT NET? ENCOURAGE SINGLE-PARENTING? OOPS. THEY DO IT ALREADY!!!!!"

Site seems to be dying at the moment though.

Good

Now how do we contact the British standards body to convince them to lodge an objection as well?

Simply superb

Best headline on this site for years and super cool tech. :)

Michael Sheils

This is rather superb

Now e just need FOX to post a story on it's news channel over there where the source is a ROTM article so we can have the War of the World hilarity all over again. :)

Michael Sheils

I can see this new building development going very well.

Thanks for making Fridays just that little bit more bearable.

What...

So now your going to start writing stories every time someone makes a skin for a device OS that looks a bit like another OS?

Michael Sheils
Unhappy

hmm

It is starting to seem like someone high up at google is a member of the cult.

Michael Sheils

hmm

The write-up sounds good and it's nice to see them going in the usability direction, but fedora has been a nightmare for years.

I'll give it a look but no matter how pretty and useful these little tools get I doubt they can pry me away from Arch.

Michael Sheils

Good

This is the exact type of hard-hitting, exclusive journalism that El Reg needs. Keep up the good work!

Michael Sheils

hmmm...

3 here I come then.

What?

We have the technology, we can build them stronger,faster, more reliable, we just can't be arsed.

Michael Sheils

My PC

Has a Golden Delicious sticker on it, does that comply with the EULA?

wow

That would be a special kind of determination to go to all the trouble of building a deathbot.
